Now Kyle Sandilands blames 'faulty' car for breaking the speed limit as he prepares to lose his driving license

He spends thousands on flash cars, so Kyle Sandilands is not happy about the prospect of losing his driving license.

And on Monday morning, the KIIS FM breakfast show host, who only has one point left on his license, revealed he is planning to contest a speeding fine and that paying it will mean losing his license altogether.

The 43-year-old DJ was driving home from the airport in Sydney with his girlfriend Imogen Anthony, 23, after a flight back from Dubai when he was pulled over by a cop for speeding last month.

Calm before the storm: Kyle Sandilands and Imogen Anthony looked relaxed when they arrived at Sydney airport but it wasn't long after this that they were pulled over by police

During a pretend trial with a driving law expert called Oliver, Kyle revealed that a faulty dashboard in his Range Rover was to blame and that he intends to explain this reason in court.

Kyle, who has had a suspended license in the past, told listeners that he knew the radio and sat navigation were not working before he got into the car with Imogen.

But it was only once they were on the road driving that the rest of the digital dash died, which meant he was unable to see the speedometer.

He said: 'I have spoken to the people at Range Rover they have said yes indeed there is a fault and it's going to take three weeks to fix. This is a real fault. I'll get an expert report.'

'I was already driving the car when the dash went out. I thought, "I'm ten minutes from home, loaded up with luggage, I'll just follow the rest of the traffic".'

'Then I got pulled over and I said, "Sorry I've not no dash" and he said, "I'll have to give you a defect order", I said, "Oh s**t it doesn't pay to be honest" and he reminded me that I was being recorded'.

The radio star said the officer told him he wouldn't give him a defect order because he felt sorry for him but would have to give him a ticket for driving over the speed limit.

'While I have lost points in the past, this was not my fault and I feel that Range Rover should take responsibility,' Kyle concluded.

When Oliver warned him that he didn't have much of a case because he has admitted to speeding and was driving a defective car, Kyle said: 'I did go to pull over, that's when I saw the blue and red lights it was just so close. It's my word against whos?'

His co host Jackie O added: 'Sounds BS to me!'

Kyle was driving 20km/h over the speed limit and the error of judgement is likely to cost him $435 and the loss of four demerit points.

But the DJ doesn't have enough demerit points to lose to keep his license.

In 2012 he was fined for driving without his licence when he was pulled over in a black Lamborghini in Kings Cross.

In 2007 he was fined $500, lost four demerit points and had his licence suspended for driving 35km/h over the speed limit.
